We used observational evaluation to assess the ability of an online learning course to effectively transfer knowledge on personal protective equipment (PPE) selection and removal. The present study evaluated PPE selection and use by HCWs through observational analysis, both before and after the HCWs took an online infection control course. 14-17 From March to June 2007, nurses, care aides, and allied health staff attending the orientation program were invited to participate in a structured observation of PPE use before and after taking the infection control course. [18] [19] [20] 22 For the PPE sequence evaluation, the participant was given a ''1 point, 1 task'' score based on the observed structured clinical examination method, with a total maximum score based on the number of donning and doffing and hand hygiene tasks performed. ./cache/cord-281627-8cq18gja.txt ./txt/cord-281627-8cq18gja.txt
